Blöödhag: Interview by Todd. Holy shit; Way huge and way awesome interview (and centerfold! For real!) with the northwest’s premier edu-core band. Seriously, they play heavy metal songs about science fiction authors in hopes that you’ll read—and you can start right here.(http://www.bloodhag.com/)

Larry Hardy: Ryan Leach and Todd Taylor interview the “In The Red Records” dude. Physical proof that even with things going so wrong, you can still make them sound so right.(http://www.intheredrecords.com/)

The Feelers: Interview by Ben Lybarger. Finishing up the garage rock hat trick this issue (well, kinda punk-y, and hardcore-y, but at least, garage-y enough for us to use the term “hat trick.” And to be fair, we really did think they were on weed for that record).(www.myspace.com/thefeelers)

Whiskey & Co.: Interview by Parker H. Hasting. Proving that even country bands like to drink if they’re on No Idea! Wait, did we even doubt that in the first place?(www.myspace.com/whiskeyco)

Amy Adoyzie is keeping us updated on what it’s like to teach English in China.

Rev. Nørb hates the kids, loves P.J. Soles.The Rhythm Chicken goes on a telephone tour.Designated Dale talks about his love of Big Drill Car, which ups the number of bands we know he likes to four.Kiyoshi Nakazawa has a less than sanitary roommate.Nardwuar sits down with Randy Bachman (of Bachman Turner Overdrive and The Guess Who) and enjoys a nice bucket of KFM (no, not Kung Fu Monkeys).
